in the drawing. Each handle is preferably provided with a plane surface 1a for stamping any desired marking on the gauge.

In Fig. 3 is illustrated another combination comprising a go and not go7 threaded plug` gauge. 14 indicates the go head and 15 the Anot go7 h ead. The go head 14 is secured to the handle in the manner already described in reference to Figs. 1 and 2, and the not go head 15 is preferably integral with the bolt 16 as illustrated.

In Figs. 4, 5 and 6 is illustrated a combination comprising a single end plug gauge.

VThe gauging head 17l herein may be any of the heads 2,11 and 14, illustrated'above, or any similar head of the desired size and The Vhandle 1 is the saine as vvthat heretofore described, a securing bolt 18 having a slotted head 19, however, being substituted for the ,bolts above described.

. The head 17 is prevented from rotation on `are adapted to be non-rotatably mounted on the handle either in combination with any of the not go gauging heads to provide a double lend plug gauge or by itself by means of the securing bolt 18 to provide a single end plug gauge.y It is well known that most of the wear and strain in gauges of the type herein described is on the go gagingheach hence the provision herein for positively preventing rotation. and looseness of this head on the handle. Other combinations not illustrated herein may be made 'up from the several elements when desired and any such combinations are considered .as within the scope of Vthe inventionV as defined bv the appended claims.

What. I claim is:

1. A gauge comprising a handle having a longitudinal opening centrallyl therethrough, a gaging head` means extending entirely through the said opening and engagingthe head for securing the head to one end of the handle, means for prevent- Qing rotationofv the head on the handle, and Vmeans at the other end of the handle for f operating the 'said first means Lto secure and release the head relative to the handle.

2. A gauge comprising a handle having a longitudinal opening centrally therethrough, a gaging head, a volt extending through the said opening and threadedly engaging the head forsecuring the head to thehandle, andY means comprising inter-engaging projections and recesses on the relatively adjacent ends of the handle and head for preventing rotation of the head on the handle.

3. A gauge comprising a handle having an opening extending longitudinally therethrough, a gauging head, a bolt extending through the said opening andthreadedly engaging the head for securing the head to the handle, and means comprising three inter-engaging projections and recesses on the relatively adjacent ends of the handle and head lfor preventing rotation of the head on the handle, the said three projections and recesses being adapted yto-form a tripod support for the head on the handle.

4. A gauge comprising a handle having a longitudinal opening centrally therethrough, two gaging heads, and means extending through the said opening, fitting the walls thereof and connected to the two heads to hold the same secured to the handle at the opposite ends thereof respectively.

5. A gauge comprising a handle having a longitudinal opening centrally therethrough, a gaging head, a bolt extending through the opening and engaging the said head for securing the head to one end of the handle, and a second gaging head mountved on the bolt at the opposite endof the handle.

6. A gauge comprising a handle having a longitudinal opening centrally therethrough, a gaging head, a bolt extending through the opening and threadedly engagingthe `said yhead for securing the head to one end of the handle, and a second gaging'head integrally mounted on the bolt at the opposite end of the handle.

. 7 A gauge handle comprising a one-piece body portion having a bore extending centrally therethrough, the walls of the handle from the bore .outwardly being relatively thick," and means at one end of the handle for preventing rotation of a gaging head on the handle, the said bore being adapted to receive an elongated member fo` securing the gaging head to the said end of the handle. f

. 8. A gauge handle comprising a body portion having a bore extending centrally therethrough, the walls of the handle from the bore outwardly being relatively thick, and a AV-shaped projection at one end vof the handle for preventing rotation of a gaging head on the handle, the said bore being adapted Vto receive an elongated member for securing the gaging head to the said end of the handle.

9. A gauge handle comprising a body portion having a bore extending centrally therethrough, the walls of the handle from the bore outwardly being relatively thick, and three projections at one' end of the handle. for preventing" rotation and looseness of a gaging head orf the handle, the

said bore being adapted to receive an elona gaging head on the handle, the said bore gated member for-securing the gaging head being adaptedto receive an elongated me`m- 10 4 to the said end ofthe handle. ber for securing the gaging head to the l0. A gauge handle comprising a body last mentioned end of the handle.
